Did they quit making rope and trees?
If you can’t do the time...don’t do the crime.
A scene in “Fargo” comes to mind.
What’s wrong with a good old fashioned morphine overdose? Plentiful and painless, who could argue. Put ‘em to sleep first.
Some show had an episode on methods of execution. I believe nitrogen was found to be the quickest and most painless. Just breathe it for little awhile and then you just pass out and you’re gone.
I was stopped at a light the other day and heard a heaving truck stop beside me. I looked over and right in front of me were big letters on the side of a giant white tank: NITROGEN.
Stupid TV.
How about explosives?
Fall from a very Tall Building ?
About 10 grams of Potassium Chloride delivered by an IV bolus will do the trick every time.
Seems like a better mouse trap.
BOTCHED? Nonsense! He’s dead ain’t he! And he didn’t die live HIS VICTIM!
Botched is when the prison system forgets to execute you as happened to a person I know. Sentenced to death, the Oklahoma prison system forgot to execute him! So they gave him LIFE in prison!
BRING back the rope! Hanging Judge Parker knew how to handle criminals!
We could outsource this to ISIS?
Mormons require the spilling of blood. Why don’t they reinstate the throat cutting the original Mormons did!
I don’t believe in Mormonism but I will go along with throat cutting!
The execution should be quick but frightening to the condemned.
Americans are squeemish about blood. What is wrong with a good old fashioned western style hanging complete with hymn singing before the trap door send-off?
I think something like “Thunderdome” would be kinda cool.
“Two men enter, one man leaves.”
I wrote a short story about it a few years back, but it went nowhere.
“Lydia Polley, a member of the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, said in the report that the group had a “flash of hope” that the botched execution would help their cause, but it ultimately “just led to people thinking of better ways to kill them.”
Sheesh... she makes it sound like thinking of better ways is somehow a bad thing!
Hanging can lead to decapitation or slow asphyxiation. I agree, it’s still pretty foolproof. Short drop to prevent decapitation, except for the extremely obese (tough). Let ‘em choke and twist in the wind for while.
